part number help please...///M roadster

[Beedub]

guys, the battery cover in the boot for the z4m roadster, its help on by 3 plastic screws at the base, anyone got a part number for these, mine are all chewed up and dont look decent at all, more to the point, they're damaged...... ive looked on realoem and can find the correct piece but it doesnt list the little plastic screws!!

look at the battery cover and you'll see the three screws holding it at the base, note these screws don't show on real oem......

According to the diagram, it would be #8, but it does say there is 4 of them, does the pic of #8 look like them?

yeh i noted that but its the 4 plugs at the top of cover, its not the screws at the base!!! also no the pic looks nothing like them... they are a black plastic screw with a black cross head pattern... someone on here will have replaced them, infact im sure i remember someone asking the same thing a while back sadly i cant find the post!!.....

interestingly their isnt a quantity number 3 for the three screws leading my to think the diagram is missing the items im after :-(

I think it is missing the item. Did you try an autoparts store? I can't tell you for sure, but I think I ran across a generic equivalent to these when I was looking for some hardened washers a couple of months back. Not BMW parts, but if they work, and don't look ugly, who cares? Maybe worth a look if you're close to a store?

Oooo. Another thing learned about life in the UK. Wow. (I've got three auto parts speciality stores within 3 miles of me. Guess I'll count myself as lucky now. Who knew?)

Okay, you're probably going to scream in pain, but what about asking the stealer? My stealership is happy to look up part numbers for me (this washer, that bolt, this nut, whatever). Do you have a reasonably local stearler? Can't be more than a few quid all told I'd think?

If you get nowhere, I can try to source them for you and send them over.

my dealer is really local, i guess ill try them!!!! ive just remembered, i do have a general auto store, local as well, ill try them.... btw i love your english use of " a couple of quid" very cool

Better of the the stealer, doubtful if some other place like Halfrauds would have exactly what you need.

Did you see my response in the Cosmetic section?

I was asking about something similar for the battery/mobility kit cover on the coupe not long ago.

Parts shown here:

The 90-degree twist fasteners I needed were #11 in that diagram. There was another part I needed, too that was missing, and not shown on the real OEM site, too. It WA a lockin tab that one of the twist locks fits into, and fastens to the battery tray.

Not sure how the roadster an coop compare in he boot, though.

hi shak, thanks for your help, the roadster uses different fastners for this but i guess it wont hurt to order a few and see if they work???

the fasteners are hex headed plastic screws in the roadster luggage compartment....
